Have you ever heard the saying... you don't really appreciate something until it's gone. You soon realize that having your drivers license suspended by the Department of Motor Vehicles immediately shakes your world. When you realize that having a drivers license is a privilege, not a right. The three most common ways my clients qualify for the drivers license to be suspended are:
1. DUI and having a blood alcohol level of .08% or more.
2. Being determined by the Department of Motor Vehicles to be a negligent driver by being convicted or pleaded guilty to violations that result in your getting four points in a 12 month period or six points within a 24 month period.
3. Failing to appear for a traffic violation or other traffic related misdemeanor.
4. Failing to pay your fines or fees to the court for a traffic violation or other traffic related misdemeanor after promising to do so.
Promptly hiring an experienced traffic court lawyer who specializes in clearing up or avoiding the DMV suspensions can prevent your valuable drivers license from being suspended or revoked.
Each of the above categories which may have caused a license suspension require different skills and procedures for clearing them up and creating an opportunity for our clients to have their driving privileges fully reinstated.
Tearing up the above issues in a timely fashion can avoid jail time, costly and greatly increase fines and preventing the loss of that all too important drivers license which gives us the freedom to live and work in California.
